It’s almost always the same with these violent Europeans, NGL. .

Financial struggle/discomfort + no morality nor ideology besides “I gotta get the bag” = selling drugs or selling your body. There’s no OF boom in Palestine and those people have it truly hard…

But being a horny mouse is a-okay?!

Since there are barely any new movies I feel truly interested in (and shows, even less so), I guess I do have the time. I just don’t have the interest anymore and my tastes, through experience, have developed. I’m a big turn based RPG guy, although I’m also partial to ARPGs a la Elden Ringu, and there are barely any ‘decent’ games for me to dive into. I’m the kind of guy that plays one game every 4+ months, but if it’s not even semi interesting I will delete the game shortly after I pirate it (I’m not paying for disappointment, I only pay after playing and enjoying it enough to feel it’s earned). For instance, two years ago I played Outward and modded DOS2, last year I mostly played ER and I replayed Wasteland 3, this year I’ve played Wartales (and about 20 hours of Clair Obscure, which is still demo time for me, lol) and Tainted Grail (it’s okay, better than CO, IMO, so I paid for it), and I’m considering a replay of Xcom 2 (Long War of the Chosen, ofc).

“By law”. It’s just a convenient excuse for genocidal immorality. It’s not like words on paper matter to anyone in power in the West, you’d definitely be blind to think otherwise.

I don’t think the request is valid.

And I do! Hopefully soon, God willing. And why? I need someone to hear me yap about morals and competent screenwriting, my wife wants someone to dress up and pour her love into. Usual reasons, I guess. 😅

I don’t have any serious answers, but I do know that it’s important not to let good be the enemy of ‘perfect’. And it’s also important to remember that we will always make choices with incomplete information, but our choices (like our lives) are time-constraint, so eventually we have to pick a path regardless. Are you sure you wanna do AI trading? It’s basically gambling with more steps, right? Or at the very least a bit ‘esoteric’, certainly not a clear way into financial stability. Maybe a trade would be better? Idk. Good luck, friend. 🙏

If a teacher’s monologue counts, certainly!

Could I really know what you believe in and what flavour of upright (or immoral, but I believe people were made “good” so why expect differently?) you are by having a passing knowledge of your exes? I guess if I asked your exes everything about you, maybe, but that assumes they’re unbiased sources of information and, c’mon, lol. Or what your political (a derivation of ethics) views are? Or what your triggers and coping mechanisms are? I mean, we could get along no matter what kind of music you listen to/fast food you order, but other stuff like being a violent neo Nazi would evidently bring some friction to our friendship!

I doubt you’re as vacuous as you think (certainly more than a collection of products you consume, right?), don’t sell yourself short. 😉

Valid point. 😅

That’s the kind of stuff I’m, today, mature and emotionally stable enough to force myself to lie about, lol. I’m good at yapping so I think that the one time I was asked that I just BSd my way out of it, what else would I do? Should I tell the company that consumerism is vacuous, stupid and immoral and as such they should also consider doing something prosocial instead of selling Nespresso machines?😅

Yep yep yep. A minor wrong turn and we’re back at phrenology and ‘genetic supremacy’…

I was replying with the “what would you do with the information?” with that “I don’t take personally etc etc”! 😅 As in, I won’t take offence to ‘weird’ and seemingly antisocial behaviour, because I understand there’s some differences in personality between tribes (meaning whatever they’re giving me I need to reprocess accordingly). Perhaps, they have the tiniest bit of a genetic component (and are even harder/impossible to fully change, and hence why some of these differences and characteristics have been there seemingly forever). I mean, would that be that bad? Or does it really seem that far fetched?

I don’t take it personally that the further North I go, the more spaced out people are at bus stations and the further South I go, the louder people will talk, I guess.😅 But you’re right, we aren’t ready for it.

Yep, I hate it too. At least the places I eat at (by myself, not with my wife) barely give you a napkin, you just get the meal and accompanying grease, but still.

Western Europeans (Americans are displaced Europeans just like apartheid South Africans and genocidal Israelis), for being such a small group of people in an even smaller land, have managed to cruelly oppress the world since at least the days of Jesus til this day. The consistency (the Romans, the Crusades, Francisco Pizarro and Hernan Cortez, King Leopold’s Congo, the Dutch East India Company, the native Australian genocide by the Brits, every American conflict including proxy wars, etc.) is, at the very least, curious. Has chattle slavery even been a thing outside of the Western world?! The most destructive conflicts in recent history were just Western Europeans Vs Western Europeans with displaced Europeans joining in later and some extras! Believe what you wanna believe (“we’re just better at it!”, yeah because you’re consistently heartless at times, lol), but if I were you, I’d take the history of my people a little more seriously and consider the suffering of others due to my ancestors’ crimes, idk.

They need their guns to shoot the browns/blacks/wife and kids. 🤷

What if it accounted for a little bit, the tiniest bit, of our psychological makeup? Would it be so terrible or dangerous of an idea? Not for clear minds and kind hearts, surely. I mean, everyone can swim and everyone can run but you know who’s gotta have at least the smallest of edges everything else being equal, right? That’s easy to accept, maybe this is just the next frontier, that we’re not just tabula rasa, but we have some innate tendencies towards/eases and difficulties regarding A or B the more we have of this or another tribe in us. It’s not something I will “die on a hill” for, simply because my evidence is all anecdotal, but 🤷.

It’s almost entirely cultural, of course, but I do think (I can’t prove it, it’s just travel and observation) that there are innate psychological differences to people of different tribes. The Congolese, the Austrian and the Nepali are different in a deeper way than nurture can account for, I think.

Not superior, but different. And yes, tribes are different, of course they are. Completely sober, a group of Germans/Finns and a group of Nigerians/Venezuelans/Algerians are completely different and we both know how. Western Europeans without ideology and morality turn into murderers. History proves it. They have fewer issues in dehumanising others, they sleep well at night in a house they robbed from people they killed (from the Native Americans to the Palestinians). No bs, can you say the same for other people in earnest?
